Chapter 643 Li Gang's Ambition
The three set off from Mutou Village, passed through Taiping County, and finally arrived at the entrance of Chenjia Village, where they began their day's work under the guidance of the craftsmen of Chenjia Village.
Meanwhile, in Taiping County, in an ordinary house, two ordinary-looking men were having a secret talk.
"Have you found out who killed the Green King?"
Inside the room, a slightly older man asked.
"Found out!"
The other person inside replied that the two appeared to be ordinary people, but in reality, they were spies for the Black-Clad Guards.
Shortly after the death of the Prince of Qing, they received orders from the Black-Clad Guards of the capital, instructing them to find out who killed the Prince of Qing as soon as possible.
Because Chen Dao always used a false identity when he went to the prefectural city and rarely revealed his true information, it was not an easy task for even the omnipresent Black-Clad Guards to find out Chen Dao's identity.
Fortunately, the Black-Clad Guards were still the Black-Clad Guards. Through comparing appearances and gathering information from the people of the prefectural city, they finally figured out Chen Dao's identity and located his place: Chenjia Village in Taiping County!
"This man is named Chen Dao, and is called Mr. Chen by the ignorant people of Taiping County. He is a fourth-rank cultivator and is often accompanied by a strange beast that looks like both a cat and a bear."
The younger man slowly said, "And that strange beast was the key to Chen Dao's ability to kill the Green King. According to eyewitnesses, that strange beast easily defeated Xia Yan, the commander of the royal guards who was close to the third rank, and then slaughtered hundreds of royal guards. Its strength is probably no less than that of a third-rank martial artist."
"A beast comparable to a third-rank martial artist..."
The older man frowned. A third-rank martial artist was not someone to be trifled with. Chen Dao himself was at the fourth-rank level, and he was accompanied by a third-rank beast. It would probably not be an easy task for the Black-Clad Guards to capture him and bring him to the capital.
"Besides, Chenjia Village, where Chen Dao lives, is also very strange."
"What do you mean by this?"
"Qingzhou is currently facing a cold disaster, and most people are starving."
The younger man frowned and said, "In Chenjia Village, everyone has enough to eat and wear. This is mainly due to the yellow-feathered chickens, white-feathered ducks, and other poultry produced in Chenjia Village. In addition to yellow-feathered chickens and white-feathered ducks, Chenjia Village also has blood-feathered chickens and red-blooded chickens that can help martial artists cultivate. According to martial artists who have consumed blood-feathered chickens and red-blooded chickens, their effects are far superior to those of herbs!"
In conclusion, the man said, "I suspect that Chenjia Village must have a secret method for raising special chickens and ducks in large quantities, or that they have found a place in the Cangmang Mountains where they can produce these poultry in large quantities."
Upon hearing this, a glint of greed flashed in the older man's eyes. He had heard about the special features of Chenjia Village. Whether it was the yellow-feathered chickens and white-feathered ducks used as ordinary meat, or the blood-feathered chickens and red-blooded chickens used as cultivation resources, they were all priceless, if only he could obtain the secret methods for raising these birds...
He could become incredibly wealthy in an instant.
However, the man quickly suppressed his greed. He was just a spy of the Black-Clad Guard. Although he had some power, it was not enough to shake a ruthless person like Chen Dao.
You must understand that Chen Dao is a ruthless person who dared to kill even the Azure King. He possesses the strength of a fourth-rank cultivator and is followed by a third-rank beast. He is far from qualified to seize anything from such a person.
"Boss, should we try to capture Chen Dao ourselves, or report it to the capital?"
At this moment, the younger man asked.
"Of course, we'll report it to the capital!"
The older man looked at him as if he were an idiot: "That Chen Dao is a fourth-grade martial artist, and he has a third-grade beast by his side. The two of us combined are no match for him."
"Aren't there other people here...?"
The young man said weakly, eager to make a name for himself, that he wanted to gather all the spies in Qingzhou to capture Chen Dao. He thought that he might be able to get promoted from the lowest-ranking spy to a junior officer in the Black-Clad Guard, or even a captain.
The older man shook his head and said, "Even if you add up all the Black-Clad Guards and spies in Qingzhou, they probably wouldn't be enough to kill Chen Dao."
Spies belong to the lowest level of the Black-Clad Guards. As the lowest level, their martial arts level is naturally not very high. Under normal circumstances, Black-Clad Guard spies are at most at the ninth to eighth rank of martial arts level.
Martial artists of the ninth to eighth rank are more than capable of dealing with ordinary criminals, but they are not enough to deal with a ruthless person like Chen Dao who is at the fourth rank. Even if all the spies in Qingzhou were gathered together, they would not be enough to kill Chen Dao alone, not to mention that Chen Dao also has a third-rank beast by his side.
"But……"
The young man was about to say something more, but the older man waved his hand and said, "Alright! Let's do it this way. Report all the information we've gathered to the capital, and let the capital handle the rest!"
The older man, who had been a member of the Black-Clad Guard for many years, was very clear-headed. Although he wanted to obtain the secret techniques of Chen Family Village and capture Chen Dao to gain merit and promotion, he also knew the importance of acting within his capabilities.
A vicious person who could kill the King of Qing and slaughter all the guards of the King of Qing's mansion was definitely not someone that low-level spies like them could handle. Therefore, he had no intention of getting involved in this matter, because once he got involved, he could become cannon fodder at any time!

"Commander, this is a letter from Qingzhou."
Three days later, in the capital city, at the residence of Li Gang, the commander of the Black-Clad Guards.
A man dressed in black guard uniform hurried into the mansion and handed a letter to Li Gang.
"A letter from Qingzhou?"
A glint of light flashed in Li Gang's eyes, and he quickly opened the letter to read it.
As he had expected, the letter was sent back by a spies from Qingzhou. It detailed the identity of the murderer who killed the King of Qing, and even the location of the murderer was written in detail.
"Taiping County, Chenjia Village, Chendao..."
Li Gang muttered Chen Dao's name, a dangerous glint in his eyes.
Especially after seeing the special features of Chenjia Village described in the letter, Li Gang's eyes gleamed.
Yellow-feathered chickens and white-feathered ducks that can be produced in large quantities under the influence of cold disasters, as well as blood-feathered chickens and red-blooded chickens that can help martial artists cultivate...
Even to Li Gang, a high-ranking and powerful commander of the Black-Clad Guards, it was an invaluable possession.
If he could master the methods for raising these birds, then Li Gang... might very well be able to advance even further.
A glint of ambition flashed in Li Gang's eyes. To outsiders, Li Gang's position was already high enough, but only Li Gang himself knew that, despite his glamorous appearance to outsiders, he was just a nobody in the imperial court!
